§ 401.2 Definitions. As used in this part, terms shall have the meanings ascribed in this section. ( a ) *Secretary.* The Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of the Interior, or their authorized representatives.
( b ) *Act.* The Anadromous Fish Conservation Act, 16 U.S.C. 757a through 757f.
( c ) *Eligible states.* Any coastal State of the United States, the State of Vermont, and the States bordering the Great Lakes. The area within the Columbia River basin is excluded.
( d ) *State fishery agency.* Any department(s), division(s), commis- sion(s), or official(s) of a State empowered under its laws to regulate a commercial or sport fishery.
( e ) *Non-Federal interest.* Any organization, association, institution, business, school, individual, or group of individuals, municipality and others outside the Federal Government, in addition to State fishery agencies, which desire to cooperate within the terms of the Act.
( f ) *Cooperator.* One or more States acting jointly or severally or other non-Federal interests, participating in a project agreement or grant-in-aid award with the Secretary.
( g ) *Anadromous fish.* Aquatic, gill breathing, vertebrate animals bearing paired fins which migrate to and spawn in fresh water, but which spend part of their life in an oceanic environment; also fish in the Great Lakes that ascend streams to spawn.
( h ) *Application for Federal assistance.* A description of work to be accomplished, including objectives and needs, expected results and benefits, approach, cost, location and time required for completion.
( i ) *Project agreement.* The formal document executed between the Secretary of the Interior and the Cooperator, committing the Cooperator to the performance of described activities and the Federal Government to participation in the financing of those activities.
( j ) *Grant-in-Aid award.* The formal document executed between the Secretary of Commerce and the Cooperator, committing the Cooperator to the performance of described activities and the Federal Government to participation in the financing of those activities.
§ 259.10 Miscellaneous. ( a ) Wherever the Secretary prescribes time constraints, the postmark date shall control if mailed. If a private delivery service is used, including Federal Express or United Parcel Service, the date listed on the label shall control. Submission of CCF transactions by email or facsimile is only allowable when an original signature is not required.
( b ) All CCF information received by the Secretary shall be held strictly confidential to the extent permitted by law, except that it may be published or disclosed in statistical form provided such publication does not disclose, directly or indirectly, the identity of the fund holder.
( c ) While recognizing that precise regulations are necessary in order to treat similarly situated parties similarly, the Secretary also realizes that precision in regulations can sometimes cause inequitable effects to result from unavoidable, unintended, or minor discrepancies between the regulations and the circumstances they attempt to govern. The Secretary will, consequently, at his or her discretion, as a matter of privilege and not as a matter of right, attempt to afford relief to parties where literal application of the purely procedural, as opposed to substantive, aspects of these regulations would otherwise work an inequitable hardship. This privilege will be sparingly granted and no party should act in reliance on its being granted.
( d ) These §§ 259.1 through 259.10 are applicable to all Agreements first entered into (or amended) on or after the date these sections are adopted.
( e ) These §§ 259.1 through 259.10 are specifically incorporated in all Agreements existing prior to the date these sections are adopted.

#### HENRY W. THAULE, Respondent, *v.*MARGARET M. KREKELER, Appellant.

*When the General Term cannot redmce damages*— Code *of Civil Procedure, section*1317.

Under section 1317 of the Code of Civil Procedure the court at General Term has no power to reduce the damages awarded by the verdict of a jury in an action for malicious prosecution, but must either reverse or affirm the judgment.

Motion for a ro-argument.

This action was brought to recover damages for a malicious prosecution. The plaintiff recovered a judgment for $3,500.

Upon an appeal, the General Term, in October, 1878, directed that the “ motion for a new trial be granted on payment of costs of former trial, unless plaintiff shall, within twenty days after entry of this order, stipulate to reduce the verdict to $1,800, in which case motion for new trial denied, and judgment affirmed as so reduced, without costs to either party.”

*Peter*Mitchell, for the appellant.

*D. M.*Porter, for the respondent.

*Per Curiam:*

Upon the hearing of this appeal on a former occasion we gave this case a careful examination, and concluded that none of the exceptions taken were available. We thought, however, upon an examination of section 1317 of the Code of Civil Procedure that the power of the court to diminish damages in an action of this nature were enlarged by this section. Subsequent examination has satisfied us that this was an error. The former order of the court was founded entirely upon the supposed power given by the section mentioned.

We are satisfied therefore that the rules established in this State by the decisions do not authorize us to reduce the damages in a case of this character. We can only reverse the judgment, *339but have no power to clo that unless we are satisfied that the jury acted from undue motives, or under gross error.

We have reached no such conclusion with regard to the action of the jury in this case. For these reasons the judgment should be affirmed.

Present- — -Davis, P. J., Beady and Potteb, JJ.

Judgment affirmed.
#### The People of the State of New York, Appellant, *v.*William B. Waters et al., Respondents.

(Argued May 6, 1907;

decided May 21, 1907.)

*People*v. *Waters,*114 App. Div. 669, affirmed.

Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the fourth judicial department, entered July 18, 1906, affirming a judgment in favor of defendants entered upon a verdict in an action to recover a penalty for a violation of section 27 of the Agricultural Law in the sale of renovated butter.

*William B. Jaeleson, Attorney-General (Martin F. Dillon*of counsel), for appellant.

*Edward W Gregg*for respondents.

Judgment affirmed, with costs, upon the ground that while an oral warning by the seller that the butter is renovated but*633ter is no excuse for a failure to comply with the statute, still, in view of the concession that the tub was marked according to the statute, the charge of the judge was "wholly immaterial; no opinion.
